Center for Organ Recovery & Education
CORE is one of 58 federally designated not-for-profit
organ procurement organizations (OPOs) in the United States.
With headquarters in Pittsburgh and an office in Charleston,
West Virginia, CORE oversees a region that encompasses 155
hospitals and almost six million people throughout western
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Chemung County, NY.
TRANSPLANT CENTERS
Each of the hospitals in
CORE’s designated service
area serve as referral sites
for potential donors. Five
of the hospitals also perform
life-saving organ transplants:
• Allegheny General
Hospital
• Charleston Area
Medical Center
• Children's Hospital
of Pittsburgh of UPMC
• UPMC Presbyterian
Hospital
• VA Pittsburgh
Healthcare System
We work closely with donor families and designated
health care professionals to deliver the gift of hope by
coordinating the surgical recovery of organs, tissues and
corneas for transplantation. CORE also facilitates the
computerized matching of organs, tissues and corneas.
With integrity and compassion, our goal is to bridge the
gap between donor families, health care providers and
transplant recipients so that we may forever transform lives.
